I'm Only Dreaming

By Jon Butcher (1989)
On album Pictures from the Front (1989)

Pictures from the Front
It comes around again
Now that the damage is done
Now that the footsteps you left
Have left me more wounds to heal

If I stand my ground
Will I know when to leave
When all the bonds have been cut
The spaces are all I feel

In the quietest part of the darkest might
A far off voice like a flickering light says
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming tonight and
Tomorrow's a long way back

Should I change my name
There's no more work in this town
I've burned my bridges behind me
And sold my bus ticket home

And sometimes I fear
That these old habits die hard
I see the crowded rooms
Where the old men sleep alone

In the quietest part of the darkest might
A far off voice like a flickering light says
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming
I'm only dreaming tonight and
Tomorrow's a long way back

So take me home
Back to the place I was born
Within those comforting walls
Where our colours never reach

And the tide is high
They say the world is still changing
But I can see through your eyes
The times haven't changed so much, no, no
